Anoth­er Ratio­nal Approach To The Prophet­hood of Muhammad

So is it pos­si­ble for the Most Wise to enable a liar to be vic­to­ri­ous, assist him, aid him against his oppo­nents and make the end result in his favour and his fol­low­ers, although this liar con­tin­u­ous­ly invent lies and forg­eries against God claim­ing that He sent him

The Sub­jec­tive Con­scious­ness of Muhammad

Here we have two notions which appear dif­fer­ent­ly from the point of view of the prophet : the notion of his sub­jec­tive con­scious­ness, which aris­es out of his human knowl­edge, and that of Qur’an­ic con­scious­ness, which is revealed to him. It is nec­es­sary to estab­lish a clear dis­tinc­tion between these two notions in order to bet­ter clar­i­fy the Qur’an­ic phe­nom­e­non. This dis­tinc­tion is appar­ent with oth­er prophets, as we saw in the case of Jere­mi­ah when he wit­nessed Nabi Hana­nia tak­ing the exact oppo­site view of his pre­dic­tion, in reas­sur­ing the peo­ple of Jerusalem about the inten­tion of God about them. It hap­pened that Hana­nia, hav­ing met Jere­mi­ah, cried to him while break­ing the yoke which Jere­mi­ah car­ried : This is what Jeho­vah said : Like­wise I will break the yoke of the king of Baby­lon”. This was in con­tra­dic­tion to all the pre­dic­tions of Jere­mi­ah. But Jere­mi­ah respond­ed spon­ta­neous­ly, Amen ! May Jeho­vah do as you say.”

Tem­po­ral Lobe Epilep­sy and the Slan­der towards Muhammad

It is well-known that the polemics of the Chris­t­ian mis­sion­ar­ies and Ori­en­tal­ists where the char­ac­ter of the Prophet(P) ranges from the total­ly ludi­crous to…

The Psy­cho­log­i­cal Impact of The Fatrah Experience

In their hasty attempt to obfus­cate and attack any­thing that inval­i­dates their claims regard­ing the Prophet’s (P) expe­ri­ences dur­ing the peri­od known as the Fatrah, the Chris­t­ian mis­sion­ary Sam Shamoun had released a ver­bal bar­rage of rhetor­i­cal non­sense in his (ridiculously-)titled A Chris­t­ian Per­spec­tive[!] of the Fatrah of Muham­mad”. Need­less to men­tion, it is nei­ther Chris­t­ian” nor it is bal­anced in its per­spec­tive”, as the author sim­ply remains true to the form of the mis­sion­ary tra­di­tion. This is fol­lowed by the equal­ly-messy straw­man argu­ments by his cohort, Silas”, in his com­ments to our expo­si­tion of the Fatrah.

Umm ul-Muk­minin Safiyyah : The Jew­ish Wife of Muhammad

Safiyyah was the daugh­ter of Huyayy ibn Akhtab, the undis­put­ed leader of the Banu al-Nadir as well as a Jew­ish rab­bi. Hence, she was of noble regal and rab­bini­cal her­itage. She became a cap­tive of the Mus­lims when they seized al-Qamus, the fortress of Khay­bar. When a Com­pan­ion of the Prophet(P) heard of Safiyyah’s cap­tiv­i­ty, he approached the Prophet(P) with a sug­ges­tion that since she was a lady of Banu al-Nadir, only the Prophet(P) was fit enough to mar­ry her. The Prophet(P) agreed to this sug­ges­tion and hence grant­ed her free­dom and mar­ried her.

The State of Prophet Muham­mad’s Reli­gious Beliefs Before the Advent of Prophethood

It is inter­est­ing to note that most of his argu­ments from a bib­li­cal [SIC] per­spec­tive” are noth­ing new. They are argu­ments rehashed from ori­en­tal­ists in the last cen­tu­ry who allege that the Prophet’s(P) reli­gious atti­tude and prac­tices pri­or to the com­ing of the Rev­e­la­tions were no dif­fer­ent from his peo­ple. Most of these claims were spear­head­ed by D.S. Mar­goli­uthD.S. Mar­goli­uth, Mohammed and the Rise of Islam (3rd ed., 1893) and sub­se­quent writ­ers fol­lowed him, includ­ing this mis­sion­ary whom we are address­ing. While the moti­va­tions of Mar­goli­uth and the mis­sion­ary in mak­ing these alle­ga­tions are not the same, the sim­i­lar­i­ties of Mar­goli­uth’s claims and the mis­sion­ary arti­cle in ques­tion are based on sev­er­al points.

Paul Says That Mark Is Futile : No Res­ur­rec­tion In Mark’s Gospel

But the first of the four gospels, i.e., the Gospel accord­ing to Mark, appar­ent­ly did not receive Paul’s memo. And this is a very impor­tant point as we keep in mind that each of the gospels were ini­tial­ly divorced from each oth­er and were writ­ten in dif­fer­ent local­i­ties for dif­fer­ent audiences.
